Ask me what queries you wish whilst I dine upon this pheasant and wine.
But make your curiosities known with rapidity, for the gout haunts me tonight and I may need to retire forthwith!
Hear all, goodmen! A phantasm besets Christendom, the Phantasm of Capitalism! All the powers of the Occident have entered into a great crusade to exorcise this Phantasm: Pope and Emperor, Guleph and Ghibelline, Medici and Habsburg!
Where is the Grand Duke that has not been decried as Capitalistic by his usurper in power? Where is the Archbishop that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Democracy, against the more enlightened dynasties, as well as against its most sinful adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. Capitalism is already acknowledged by all European princes to be itself a power.
II. It is high time that Capitalists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Phantasm of Communism with a manifesto of the guilds themselves.
To this end, Capitalists of various Guilds have assembled in Avingon and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the Latin, Greek, Alemannic, Tuscan, Frankish and Occitan languages.

WELL FIDDLE DEE DEE, I NOMINATE THEE!
Yes I am actually.

Have you heard of those two guys selling those fancy new clothes to that Emperor? Heard that idiots can’t see them.
Oh I will have to inquire after them, I am in need of new robes.
Where is your kingdom?
Where isn’t my kingdom?
I can’t believe we don’t have a Rouxls Card emoji, what the helleth
Can we agree that your most important advisor is indispensable to the realm? That their honor is unimpeachable? That you have the utmost faith in them and their abilities and you know they’d never betray you and seize the crown for themselves?
Hahaha! Yes, my good advisor who is the most upright and trustworthy is indispensable to me. I have him prepare my wine every day!
On an unrelated note I’ve been having some digestive distress as of late.

Do you know the Emperor that kings serve? Have you met the King in Yellow? Have you seen the Yellow Sign?
I am the yellow king…
